Zero-polarization candidate regions for calibration of wide-field optical polarimeters
N. Mandarakas, G. V. Panopoulou, V. Pelgrims +14
Context. Calibration of optical polarimeters relies on the use of stars with negligible polarization (unpolarized standard stars) for determining the instrumental polarization zero…
Pulsar Scintillation through Thick and Thin: Bow Shocks, Bubbles, and the Broader Interstellar Medium
S. K. Ocker, J. M. Cordes, S. Chatterjee +6
Observations of pulsar scintillation are among the few astrophysical probes of very small-scale ( au) phenomena in the interstellar medium (ISM). In particular, character…
The RoboPol sample of optical polarimetric standards
D. Blinov, S. Maharana, F. Bouzelou +34
Optical polarimeters are typically calibrated using measurements of stars with known and stable polarization parameters. However, there is a lack of such stars available across the…
A compilation of optical starlight polarization catalogs
G. V. Panopoulou, L. Markopoulioti, F. Bouzelou +7
Polarimetry of stars at optical and near-infrared wavelengths is an invaluable tool for tracing interstellar dust and magnetic fields. Recent studies have demonstrated the power of…
Bright-Moon Sky as a Wide-Field Linear Polarimetric Flat Source for Calibration
S. Maharana, S. Kiehlmann, D. Blinov +20
Next-generation wide-field optical polarimeters like the Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeters (WALOPs) have a field of view (FoV) of tens of arcminutes. For efficient and accurate…
CO enhancement by magnetohydrodynamic waves; Striations in the Polaris Flare
R. Skalidis, K. Gkimisi, K. Tassis +4
The formation of molecular gas in interstellar clouds is a slow process, but is enhanced by gas compression. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves create compressed quasiperiodic linear…
